THE GREAT MIKU CONCERT WATCH PARTY 2020-2021

Hey there Vocaloid fans! Are you as bummed about the cancelation of Miku Expo 2020 USA & Canada as I am? Maybe you’re looking to build up your excitement ahead of Magical Mirai at the end of the year? Or maybe you just want to take a look back at a decade of live Miku music~

Starting tomorrow (October 10th, 2020) and for the next 20 WEEKENDS, Every Saturday at 4 PM (Chicago time) I will be hosting watch parties for concert movies and footage of Crypton’s official Hatsune Miku live shows. We’re gonna take a look back at a decade’s worth of Hatsune Miku concerts, watch them evolve over the years, compare the shows across different regions, and just have fun gushing over fun music, lights, and sets. I know an awful lot about these concerts, so I’ll be adding in a lot of history, behind-the-scenes info, trivia, and commentary as we watch. Most weekends I’ve planned two concerts per stream, with a few exceptions. Also, since this will overlap with ExtraLife a bit, these will be charity streams as well!

If that sounds like something you might be into, give me a follow over at twitch.tv/CloudyObsession and read below the page break for the schedule and more information!

An important note: because it would be illegal for me to stream these concerts to my Twitch channel directly, I will be providing a YouTube* link in the panels below my stream where viewers can find the video we are watching, and on-screen I will have a thumbnail-sized window of the video with no audio, as well as large timer displaying the video’s playtime so that you can be sure to sync your video up with mine (otherwise my stream will mostly just be my webcam and mic audio). Unfortunately, this means you will have to open the video in a separate window while keeping the stream open, I’m sorry for the inconvenience but it’s the only way I can make it work

*I have made sure each of the concerts on the schedule are available for viewers to watch, I tried to keep it exclusively to videos on YouTube, but there were a few important shows (in my opinion, anyway) that are not available on YT, but are available on BiliBili. Bilibili is a Chinese video hosting site similar to Nico Nico Douga. Unfortunately, the site is entirely in Chinese and may be a little hard to navigate for the unfamiliar, on top of requiring an account for HD streaming (although no account is needed for SD streams). Only 3 of the 40+ concerts I plan I have scheduled will be on Bilibili, and I will denote which those are on the schedule. It’s also worth noting that while I have verified that these videos are not blocked in the US, I can’t guarantee their availability in other regions, so if you are outside the US you may need a VPN to watch some of the concerts.

Here is a quick look at the schedule! You can also click each week for a brief explanation of the theme and a more in-depth look at the concerts we’ll be watching (only the first few are available, this is a work in progress).

C3 Anime Festival Asia Singapore 2018 (#C3AFASG18), South East Asia’s biggest and most prestigious Japanese Pop Culture event, returns 30 November to 2 December 2018 at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre. Organisers, SOZO, shared a preview of the 10-year anniversary exclusive line-up of activities, contents and guests. PS: [This is a developing Article do come back for more updates as the event approaches!]

“10 years ago, Anime Festival started as a dream among my team to create a professionally-run Anime and Japanese Popular Culture event that fans, including myself, will truly enjoy and love. The festival has grown from having 25,000 attendees in year one in 2 halls in Singapore, to 100,000 attendees last year in Singapore alone. Today, we continue to be customer-focused. We are proud to be the definitive J-pop event that connects our customers with the latest most sought-after contents direct from Japan, and we’ve been delivering this for the last 10 years across Asia,” -Shawn Chin, C3 AFA’s Organiser and SOZO’s Managing Director.

Local and overseas fans of Japanese popular culture can immerse themselves in a weekend of heart-pumping, non-stop premium content and entertainment across two levels of Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre. The specially curated anniversary #C3AFASG18 festival line-up will cross both online and physical platforms, including Singapore-exclusive activities such as a celebrity red carpet event, and an online star-studded charity auction. The festival grounds will host both new activities and mainstay favourites - from anime showcases, special guests, a stellar lineup for the I Love Anisong Concerts, and the World Cosplay Summit Singapore Preliminaries.

A world-class Experiential Festival that stays grounded to fans at home

For the first time, #C3AFASG18 will hold a dazzling star-studded red carpet event in front of Suntec Singapore. To celebrate 10 Years of Anime Festival Asia, the event will be broadcasted online on Sunday, the last day of C3AFA Singapore 2018. Full details of confirmed stars will be announced later. The celebration transcends the convention grounds to share the joy and rally the online community as #C3AFASG18 gives back to society with its inaugural initiative, Anime for a Cause. An online portal will be launched for fans to participate in a lucky draw to purchase special items donated by celebrities and partners that C3AFA has collaborated with previously. Full details will be announced shortly.

Other celebratory initiatives include a stamp rally to collect commemorative stamps and claim fantastic prizes on-site during the festival weekend. Fans can also reminisce their favourite festival moments at #myAFAMoment, a collection of photos and anecdotes contributed by fans who have attended and grown with C3AFA SG since its inception. Fans can contribute photo moments with the hashtag #myAFAmoment on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

The latest and hottest anime titles and talent

Bringing the latest and hottest anime titles yearly, fans can look forward to a series of exclusive premieres. Organisers announced that the festival will screen the first episode of the highly-anticipated Mob Psycho 100 II, ahead of its premiere in January 2019. The series features an eighth grader with psychic abilities, and is an action-packed comedy series from the author of One Punch Man.

The star-studded festival grounds will welcome special guests including voice actors Rika Abe and Erii Yamazaki (who voice Hresvelgr and the Materia Sisters respectively from Frame Arms Girl), Minami Tanaka (who voices Mary Saotome from Kakegurui XX), Haruka Terui (who voices Sarah from Gundam Build Divers), Atsushi Abe (who voices Toma Kamijo from A Certain Magical Index III), Ai Furihata and Shuka Saito (who voice Ruby Kurosawa and You Watanabe from Love Live! Sunshine!!), Ai Kayano (who voices Alice from Sword Art Online Alicization), Mimori Suzuko and Momoyo Koyama (who voice Hikari Kagura and Karen Aijo from Revue Starlight) and Sumire Morohoshi (who voices Emma from The Promised Neverland).

Other guests include Eri Sasaki, a rising anisong singer who wrote, created and arranged the music for the song “Fuyubiyori”, the ending theme to the popular anime, Laid-Back Camp, and nob-c, the lead character designer for The Price of Smiles - a project celebrating Tatsunoko Production's 55th Anniversary, that will air in January 2019.

Gear up for themed booths and exclusive merchandise

Highlights of exhibition booths include Fate Grand Order, a free-to-play role-playing game developed by the FGO Project, consisting of DELiGHTWORKS, Aniplex, and Notes, based on the immensely popular Fate franchise by TYPE-MOON. Fans can also look forward to giveaways and photo-taking opportunities with the Gudako mascot.

A myriad of exclusive merchandise including a T-shirt capsule collection from Pop Team Epic, a Hatsune Miku Nendoroid exclusive from Good Smile Company, Honkai Impact exclusives from miHoYo, and merchandise from MUSE await fans and collectors.
